When will elderly MIL be vaccinated?

[Davespecifico]

MIL 84 says her GP has told her that she’ll be vaccinated in the next fortnight. Realistically, when do you think she might get her vaccination?

My dad lives in Kent and is in his 80s. He was speaking to someone earlier in the week who runs a big GP practice who said they were expecting to vaccinate people of his age in March.

Well that’s completely wrong. Quite a few people in their 80s will be called next week in the gp hubs ready to go. The rest in early January.

LemonTT - that would be great if that did happen.

Realistically, I would expect the first vaccination to be by the end of the year. Fully vaccinated by the end of January.

Practice nurse here.
Was told last week it wouldn't be our job? My clinics are fully booked until New Year with other things.
No idea what's happening.

I wonder how GP practices are going to manage a vaccine that needs -70 Celsius to store it.

It can be stored in a fridge for 3 days so its just the transport where it needs to be kept at -70
